But humans are not ants; they will not yield to the constraints of heaven and earth, which is why so many Cultivators defy the heavens.
The range covered by the thunderclouds reached a thousand feet and finally stopped expanding.
At this moment, Leo fell into deep thought.
He just wanted to break through to Spirit Saint, but a thousand-foot Tribulation Cloud appeared. Was it necessary?
The Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation is something that every Cultivator does not want to endure but has to face.
Once the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation descends, Cultivators cannot avoid it; they can only withstand it.
In the thunderclouds spanning a thousand feet, a deep and heavy thunderous sound echoed.
The thunderous roar was deafening, even Zratol, who was far away, could hear it.
“The Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation is about to descend.”
“What powerful thunder pressure, it’s going to directly kill the one undergoing the tribulation.”
“How can anyone survive such a tribulation? It’s practically certain death.”
The Cultivators watching from afar were filled with dread.
“Can that kid survive such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation?” Alejandro Gray murmured softly.
Facing such a mighty force of nature, even standing under the thunderclouds required immense courage.
Under the thunderclouds, Leo took a deep breath.
Those on the periphery could not comprehend the oppression felt under these thunderclouds.
The Thunder Tribulation had not yet descended, but it already instilled fear. Fortunately, Leo’s mind and will were firm enough.
Leo mobilized all his spiritual power, using it to protect his body; at the same time, he summoned his strongest defensive Talismans.
“Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, come on!” Feeling the first Heavenly Thunder about to descend, Leo shouted, his eyes fearless.
Facing the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, if a Cultivator felt fear, they would basically be unable to survive it.
As Leo’s shout fell, within the dark thunderclouds, lightning flashed violently, opening a huge black cavern.
The black cavern seemed like the eye of the thundercloud, carrying the might of heaven and earth, overlooking the tiny Leo in mid-air.
A massive Thunder Pillar emerged from the thick black clouds, like a giant lightning dragon with claws and teeth, striking towards Leo in mid-air.
Leo’s expression tightened; he did not dodge because facing the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, Cultivators could not dodge; they could only withstand it!
Leo clenched his right fist, starlight gathering on its surface, and punched out.
A massive fist formed by spiritual power shot up like a small meteor towards the descending Heavenly Thunder.
Boom!
The lightning pillar collided with the fist, erupting in a violent explosion.
The massive fist shattered into nothingness under the power of the Heavenly Thunder.
Immediately after, in front of everyone’s eyes, the first Heavenly Thunder struck Leo’s body.
Leo’s body fell from mid-air like a meteor, crashing hard onto the rocky peak below.
The hard rock was smashed into a large pit by Leo’s body.
“What a powerful Thunder Tribulation, much stronger than the one I faced during my tribulation!” The white-robed elder beside Alejandro Gray couldn’t help but say.
Alejandro Gray nodded in agreement. “Indeed very powerful. The lightning attack I faced during my tribulation was nothing compared to this.”
On the other side, Fierce Fire said in a deep voice, “The first Thunder Tribulation is already so terrifying. I wonder if that kid is still alive?”
“The thundercloud hasn’t shown signs of dissipating; he should still be alive,” Fierce Wave said with a grin.
“Cough…”
In the deep pit, Leo coughed up blood and shakily stood up.
The lingering arcs of lightning on Leo’s body caused waves of stinging pain on his skin.
Clearly, the first Heavenly Thunder had caused significant damage to Leo’s internal organs and flesh.
However, there was no fear in Leo’s cold eyes.
Gritting his teeth, Leo once again mobilized his spiritual power to protect his body.
After enduring the Heavenly Thunder’s strike just now, Leo could feel that the barrier between the third and fourth layers of the Nine Heavens Star Chart had appeared.
Once he broke through to the fourth layer of the Nine Heavens Star Chart, Leo’s physical strength would increase several times over.
With a tap of his toe, Leo shot back into mid-air.
In the massive thousand-foot thunderclouds, another earth-shaking thunderous sound echoed.
In the center of the thunderclouds, within the huge black vortex, brilliant lightning flashed.
“The second Heavenly Thunder, come on!” Leo looked up at the night sky, his eyes flashing with light as he shouted fiercely.
From within the black thundercloud vortex, a second Thunder Pillar transformed into a dragon and struck down towards Leo in mid-air.
The second Heavenly Thunder was thicker and more terrifying than the first.
“Nine Heavens Star Fist!” Just like before, Leo punched out again.
The second Heavenly Thunder was overwhelmingly powerful, directly tearing the giant Star Fist Light into fragments of starlight.
The lightning that tore through the Star Fist struck Leo without any hindrance.
Leo’s figure fell from mid-air again, crashing hard onto the rocky peak below.
A second deep pit appeared on the hard rock peak, even larger than the first one.
“That kid has no other tricks left besides withstanding it,” Fierce Wave sneered as he saw Leo being struck down again.
Generally, before undergoing a tribulation, Cultivators would make ample preparations to deal with the Thunder Tribulation. They would purchase various defensive spiritual weapons or Talismans or use other means.
“That kid doesn’t seem like an idiot. He didn’t even use any defensive spiritual weapons and took most of the Heavenly Thunder’s power head-on,” Elder Bloodmoon couldn’t understand it.
On the rocky peak, in the deep pit, Leo spat out several mouthfuls of blood continuously, surrounded by arcs of lightning.
The power of the Heavenly Thunder entering his body caused severe damage to his internal organs and flesh.
Gritting his teeth, Leo shakily stood up again. His clothes were charred all over.
Leo took several deep breaths. His face showed no fear as he charged back into mid-air again.
The third strike descended!
A third giant pit appeared on the rocky peak.
In the pit, every bone in Leo’s body was in excruciating pain. Moving even slightly felt like his entire body was falling apart.
“Am I really going to fall in this Thunder Tribulation?” Leo said with a pale face and a bitter smile.
After taking a few breaths, determination returned to Leo’s eyes.
Even if it was just to see Sophia again, he couldn’t give up or fall!
Leo once again crazily activated the Nine Heavens Star Chart. The remaining Leviathan’s Blood in his body seeped into his internal organs and flesh.
Inside Leo’s body, the damage caused by the Heavenly Thunder began to heal rapidly.
Feeling the immense power brought by Leviathan’s Blood, Leo’s eyes widened as he let out a roar.
Starlight suddenly burst forth from Leo’s body surface, deeper and more brilliant than before.
